The Arrangement is a new development of  "one country, two systems" policy in the judicial field and a new initiative of the two places to discuss and share a diversified dispute resolution mechanism, also a new exploration of the judicial and commercial rules convergence. The Arrangement specifies the types of preservation that can be adopted, the applicable arbitration procedures, and the stages of application for preservation, achieving comprehensive coverage of mutual assistance in arbitration between the Mainland and Macao SAR, and covering all arbitration institutions in Macao, reflecting the greatest support for Macao's legal services industry. Not only is the entire consultation process of the Arrangement conducted online, but also it adopts "cloud signing" and "cloud publishing". The convenient and efficient form of signing and publishing vividly reflects the deep integration of technology and justice. (source: court.gov.cn)
